If you are making complex app handling say user profiles and photos then instead of Function you probably need to make a REST API with Express JS or Flask (Python) and maybe a database. And host that on Vercel or AWS. And your app would read the env variables on process.env or os.env when the app starts but only send and receive precise info to the user so they cannot see the API key used behind the scenes.
Drifting from the web app flow, here is how to use secret environment variables on GitHub Actions to post a tweet.
